Nochebuena

Absolutely loved this holiday movie!! Had it all! Comedy, love, and tear jerking moments. Who doesn't love a great holiday romcom, where serendipitous love play with our emotions of wishing for a happy ending for Christmas. One of my favorite parts of the movie was the traditional "Nochebuena" aka Christmas Eve. The food, music, and the infamous coquito, it's like I can smell the pernil "roast pork" at its last minute in the oven or getting all dolled up just to be in someone's living room. Such a great representation of amazing Hispanic traditions and memories. Made me feel all warm and fuzzy for this holiday season.

From start to finish, Nochebuena had my undivided attention. I was laughing and crying between scenes. Brought back so many memories with my family and friends. The details of the holiday home decor to the great city locations, had me reminiscing. The actors did an excellent job portraying the characters. The friendships and relationship amongst each of them was honestly magical. I will say, the movie wasn't long enough for me. I didn't want the movie to end. There may need to be a part 2 (wink wink). This film is definitely the one you'll never forget about during the holidays. Cheers to you!

Nochebuena achieves something most Latinx/Latino films don't achieve, authenticity.

From the balance of Rene Rosado's character Junior in the big city to Tanairi Sade Vazquez's Jennifer still in the hometown feel.

Elba, The Mom felt like a MOM.

Jennifer's cousin is literally all of our cousins, from gossip to wingman to that horrible sign!

The feel of coming back home for the holidays to see what could've been is something we can always explore & Nochebuena does that.

I think what I enjoyed most about this movie is the subtleties, the choice of house, the food on the table, the kitchen scenes, the flashback's weren't forced, it added depth to the story.

It will seriously become a favorite because the audience regardless of where they're from will be able to see themselves on screen.

Nochebuena brings back those nostalgic holiday romcom feels but with a twist. Even for someone that may not be part of the Hispanic culture, you will feel connected to each and every character and the true essence of Nochebuena; fun, gratitude, family and love! The film and cast gives you plenty of laughs, tears and all the feel good feels from start to finish. Each cast member brings their full talent to the role and you really start to feel a connection and bond with each of them, like friends you grew up with and leaves you truly rooting for them and wanting to know what will happen next. Grab a cup of coquito and snuggle up with the family for this new holiday classic!

The next time I get the question "What's your favorite Christmas movie?" - I will no longer give a long list of the typical classics, or feel uncertain of my answer. My answer will simply be.... Nochebuena!

Nochebuena combined the richness and authenticity of our Latin culture, during the holidays with romance and whole lot of laughter!

Nochebuena so very properly and accurately showcased Latinx culture. There were so many moments where I completed related and just wanted to jump into the movie!!!

Oh, the countless a-ha moments..... :) you've really gotta watch it!

This film is so important because it's going to help audiences understand how there is more than the generic classifications and generalizations about Latinx culture. Our culture, especially during the holiday, is full of love, music, food, diverse family members, traditions and of course.... Coquito!!

The filmmakers have done an excellent job at sharing their perspectives with audiences! The actors all had incredible onscreen chemistry!

BRAVO TO ALL and may this reach the heart and souls of all the world!
